Genesis versions of MK 1 and 2 had top tier sound tracks. They aren't arcade accurate, but they work for the Genesis whereas the SNES just sounds like a shitty attempt to recreate the arcade

Nintendo SFX2 is SIX TIMES faster than cpu. What would be the ultimate sega enhancement chip?

RP2040 Coprocessor ($1):
•Offload logic so CPU/VDP max out sprites. Scrolling/collision math on 32X lets SH-2s focus on 60fps full screen bitmaps.
•AI for RTS or logic game (Factorio).
•2D object physics, destructible terrain (Worms)
•Modern compression: 20mb/s feels like 60mb/s.
•Geometry: 32X fills polygons well but struggles at vertex math. Handles Transform, Clipping, and Z-position. Feels 5th Gen now.

Lattice iCE40UP5K FPGA ($5):
•Sprite Scaler+Compositor: Transform every sprite/tile. Psuedo Parralax. VDP bottlenecks but 32X surpasses Neo Geo.
•Palette Sequencer: MD can change palette during H-Blank to reach 512 colors but CPU is too busy.Chip holds color table and blasts palettes to CRAM during H-Blank. Combine with the compositor for true transparency.
•Blitter: Blasts sprites from ROM to 32X VRAM. This alone makes Doom 60fps.
•Priority masking: Automates hole-punching in MD layer so 32X can do complex layering.

8mb SDRAM ($1):
•32X cart can send sprites straight to frame buffer. Allows thousands of sprites and can que up data for 32X burst mode (8 words in 12 cycles) so SH-2s never wait again.
•Lighting: Freed by the blitter and RAM, SH-2s gain idle time for dynamic lighting. lmao

With the RAM and the blitter alone you can easily port Symphony of the Night, Castlevania Chronicles, Resident Evil, Galerians, TRAG, Suikoden, Strider 2, Darius Gaiden, Gradius Gaiden, Policenauts, Baroque, Intelligent Qube, Community Pom, Brave Prove, Sexy Parodius, Langrisser 4, Rhapsody, SF Alpha 3, Neo Geo games, Parasite Eve, Oddworld, Star Fox 64, Grandia, Front Mission 3, Persona 2, Doom 64, Star Ocean 2 and Tales of Eternia. In fact, they would be the definitive versions because they would have no load times and the 32Xs bitmaps would actually look better than the compressed pre rendered Backgrounds on ps1.

Did anyone here get the Genesis Mini 2? I was tempted but it didn't have hakchi support or whatever, so you couldn't put your own roms on it.
>>
>>738091093
Yeah I did, hoping it would get hacked. Nothing is happening still so I'll probably sell it.

I had one because it was discounted to 20 new.

Not a single one of you has played Alien Soldier.

I have. I was playing it this year.
To think that it's unfinished and they only completed like 1/4 of the bosses they initially had planned.... it's ridiculous enough as it is.

It's not surprising really. It had an extremely limited release (Amazon exclusive) so not many people bought it and the ones that did, ended up buying the nip Mega Drive 2 variant (game selection on the Genesis 2 version felt like Sega of America really not wanting anything to do with it, so they just threw up some random shit on there and went back to making snarky social media posts), plus by that point, everyone austistic enough to make a hack had moved on from hacking mini consoles and on to making custom firmware for chiniese handhelds and shit.
>>
>>738111995
It's kind of a shame really, because it actually has more storage space compared to the original Genesis mini, plus M2 updated their in-house emulator to eliminate the audio lag and some (but not completely remove) of the input lag.

Those old soundtracks really highlight how little you need to make music sound good, when you compare it to some of the modern bombastic orchestral themes.

I remember playing Phantasy Star 2 and being rather confused about how one is supposed to beat that game without turning the console off considering how long it was. Was there ever an equivalent of PS1 memory card for megadrive/genesis?
>>
>>738116723
I know people like the genesis for the rocking, high energy music, but I'm a big fan of the more relaxed or atmospheric tunes.
